I do something similar, and I really do enjoy it for development. Being able to use mosh to shell into a fast development machine with high speed internet feels like a superpower. The time I put into learning tmux + vim was really well worth it.
That said, don't underestimate the upfront cost of something like this. Getting the right plugins + getting comfortable took me a considerable amount of time.

I've been a terminal guy for many years so its easy for me to recommend while I already have the muscle memory. It might be an uncomfortable few weeks, but I still argue that learning a new language or framework is MUCH harder than learning keybindings, coreutils, and shell operators.
- xur17 5y agoYeah, in grad school I forced myself to learn vim + tmux, and it was definitely quite a few uncomfortable and slow weeks, but it has paid itself back in dividends since then.
